In the 21st century it seems incredible that there are still places in the world that are prohibited for women. Most of these corners do not allow access to the female sex for religious reasons, although there are also other reasons that influence this type of prohibition.
Today in Hard Hobbit To Break We want to tell you about precisely those places that you will not be able to access if you are a woman. Without a doubt, this is information that will be most useful when planning a trip.
Mount athos
First of all, we want to tell you about Mount Athos, Greece, one of the most impenetrable places in Europe. And it is that beyond being a prohibited place for both women and female animals, men need special permission to access. Furthermore, it is a very difficult permit to obtain. The origin of this prohibition dates back to the middle of the 11th century, when the emperor of Byzantium He decided not to allow women access to this sacred area so as not to tempt the men who lived there. Declared a World Heritage Site since 1998, Mount Athos remains inaccessible to the female sex. In fact, women must be 500 meters from this place.
Also in Greece you can find some local called Kafenion where the entry of women is also prohibited. Here, older men gather after work to play cards, drink beer, ouzo, retsina or black coffee, and chat. Most of these sites are in small villages in Athens.
Mount Omine
Another mountain that prohibits the entry of women is Mount Omine, a sacred mountain that has a Buddhist temple on top, about 5,640 meters high. Declared World Heritage in 2004, this place has a sign at the entrance that specifies the prohibition, for the same reason as on Mount Athos: to avoid the temptation of the monks. In fact, in the last 1,300 years only men have accessed the site. If you have the opportunity to visit the area, you should know that there are guides that offer mountain excursions that border this place.
Saudi Arabia
Although it is not prohibited to enter Saudi Arabia if you are a woman, it is true that it is recommended to be accompanied by a male person. Also, it is important to keep in mind that women are not allowed to drive in this country. Also, women are prohibited from riding swing, since they can incite men to sexually abuse them, have paid jobs and travel alone.
Haji Ali Dargah
Another religious place forbidden for women is the temple of Haji Ali Dargah, located in Mumbai, India. Specifically, they are not allowed access to the tomb where Pir Ají Ali Bujhari is located, since according to the sharia, known in the West as the law muslim, the mixing of men and women anywhere is prohibited, in addition to not allowing people of the female sex to visit the graves. This was done after a woman approached this sanctuary in 2005 dressed improperly. On the other hand, it is important to know that many Hindu temples prohibit the entrance of menstruating women.
Galaxy Attraction
Although there are other places in the world prohibited for women (Italian clubs, the beach of Mlimadji in the Comoros, a Maori museum, a gay hotel in Nice ...) we want to end by talking about an attraction that is located in a Park aquarium from Bavaria, Germany. We are referring to Galaxy, an attraction that has caused injuries to the genital areas of some women by sliding at 50 km / h, so it was prohibited by those responsible for the complex.
It's the only place in the world where women's entry is prohibited. (April 2024)
